Neighbour

My neighbour came over and said my door was dirty and asked me to clean it, so I told him it’s just from the kids but no worries, I’ll get it done. He then said I’m responsible for keeping it clean, so I just replied “no worries” and turned to shut the door, but he carried on saying it doesn’t look good when people come around. That’s when I said, “I don’t need to be told, but thanks for the advice,” and closed the door. The second I pushed back, his face went completely confused and he just froze for a moment, like he never expected me to answer him that way.

Was how I reacted reasonable ?

As a SAHM going out (could be for drinks, club) anywhere in the evening with your girls/me time) if childcare is taken care of do you ask or just tell your partner that you’re going out?

Please only answer if you have somewhat of a “village”

A rant

I recently spent some time reorganizing all the closest upstairs (5) and making sure the locks on them weren't broken so the kids couldn't get in them and undo my work. My husband did the ooo and ahh over the freshly organized and clean closets just to leave one unlocked and now it's completely destroyed with everything unorganized laying at the bottom of the closet and spread throughout the room. Of course he let that happen on a day I will have visitors over and I can't clean it up because the baby wants me to wear her. I love when I waste my fucking time.

Am I being sensitive or would this also upset you?

I asked my husband if he liked my handmade bracelets and he said "They're okay." I asked what that means and he said "If I saw them I'd just think 'Oh, neat' then move on." Am I being too sensitive for being really upset over that? I just feel like, where is the support? I thought we were supposed to be our spouse's first fan, cheering on their passions? For more context I'm an artist, my bracelets are made of recycled materials that I collect and process myself and are woven in a pattern unique to my work, not that it would make it any better but this is not a hobby for me it's my life work and a small part of a bigger project. Since I work from my home I also care for our children while my husband goes to a 9-5 job and that also has me feeling a type of way about his feedback, I cheer him on at his job and support him where I can but when it comes to my work that's what I get? It's obviously a soft spot for me, but let me know if I'm just sensitive here or if it's actually something you'd be upset by too.

Teething

Anyone else having a hard time trying to get their baby to eat because of teething. I'll be feeding him and he grabs the spoon and starts chomping on it to the point when I try and take the spoon to feed him again he cries🫩🫩. Like I feel so bad cause he's going through it but I really want him to start to get accustom to regular food

Rage towards how close offenders are allowed to be towards children.

Part of my job is reviewing the sex offender registry for the area I work in. The growing number of them being allowed near schools is sickening. Knowing there is one just a few doors down from my house makes we want to not take my child outside. I can see where they work and what they do and some of the businesses hiring child offenders is even more sickening. I’ve checked the state laws and it doesn’t protect the children at all and it enrages me so much.
